What style have you picked up from another developer that you are still using?

I picked up a style for renaming a thing that I want to archive such as a file, a folder, a database file, etc.

This pattern is zxYYYYMMDD_name

it starts with zx so that when I order the list alphabetically it will always appear at the bottom.

Yes, I have been brainwashed, so now everything I manually archive starts off that way.

For example, I have an Oracle MySQL database called example_db that I want to make major changes. Before I mess with it I copy it, then label the copy.

zx20200416_example_db

Chances are that if you have ever asked me to help you with code and I have had to touch your files, you have seen me do this.

And another thing: how often do you randomly read style guides on the internet to improve the quality of your code?
